Comedy Favourite Barry Hilton to perform in Port Elizabeth
South Africa’s most travelled comedian, Barry Hilton, is jetting into Port Elizabeth from Namibia for a one-night-only show on 3 January. A whirlwind, world-wide schedule this year has seen him entertain audiences in Hong Kong, Singapore, Macau, Australia, Las Vegas, Seychelles, Namibia, Bahrain, Dubai and across Africa.
His February performance in Dubai saw him shortlisted alongside John Cleese for Best Comedy Act Dubai 2013 and shortly thereafter his industry peers recognized him with the Comics Choice Lifetime Achiever Award. Another spectacular highlight this year, was being the first South African comedian to be invited to perform at the world famous Harrah’s Improv in Las Vegas – the Entertainment Capital of the World.
Barry has worked to rave reviews and riotous applause in internationally renowned venues such as The Royal Albert Hall in London, the MGM Grand in Macau, The Sydney Comedy Store, Harrah’s Improv in Las Vegas, The Madinat Jumeirah in Dubai and The Crown in Melbourne, Australia – the largest casino complex in the southern Hemisphere.
Humble as ever, Barry continues to draw capacity crowds to venues across Africa. He is particularly looking forward to performing in Port Elizabeth – the town that was his home for 10 years – on 3 January. Barry now lives in Hermanus in the Western Cape.
He regularly features on Comedy Central Africa and has five signature DVDs to his name as well as two movies. While not on the public stage, he this year filmed a pilot episode for a new SA sitcom, did dozens of radio adverts, recorded a television advert, tackled a record number of corporate gigs, navigated a cross country offroad championship, worked on 5 international cruise liners and celebrated his 30th year as a professional comedian. There is just no slowing down for this veteran comedian. Be sure to catch his one-night-only show on Friday, 3 January at The German Club in Lorraine.
